Common Questions
Questions people usually ask
What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation is a certified translation that is legally recognized for official use.
Do you translate reference letters for official submission?
Yes, we specialize in translating reference letters for official purposes.
Can I submit my document online?
Absolutely, you can upload your document directly through our website.
Will you translate stamps and seals?
Yes, we include all visible text, stamps, and seals in the translation.
What's the difference between certified, notarised, and sworn translation?
A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and meets the requirements of most UK official bodies. A notarised translation adds verification by a notary public, required by some courts and embassies. A sworn translation is a formal legal declaration by a recognised translator, required by certain countries and courts. We help you identify which level is right for your document and destination.
Can I send a photo from my phone rather than a scanned PDF?
Yes — a clear, well-lit photo is fine. We'll confirm whether it's readable and let you know if a better image is needed before we start. Where a document has text on the reverse, please send both sides.
How much does a certified translation cost?
Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround option. We provide a clear, fixed quote before any work begins — no hidden fees.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Your documents are handled securely and only shared with the translator and reviewer working on your project. We treat personal and legal documents with care and strict confidentiality throughout.
